Yup, the apache USE flag was removed from PHP, if you really need PHP ebuilds that still support Apache1 correctly, check out Gentoos CVS (you'll also need eclasses that hadn't the Apache1 support for PHP removed, should be fairly easy as I've used pretty clear commit messages for those changes). > One question from a gentoo newbie: Unmasking apache and its associated > packages was simple enough, but is there a way to allow a USE flag from > a hard-masked package like apache to be used by packages like php? Well in this case, NO, because the USE flag was totally removed from the ebuild. If you need it, get the old ebuilds from CVS (see above). Still, unmasking will do you little good as on the 12th June all Apache1 stuff will be definitely removed from the tree, so you either start copying stuff to your own overlay and maintain it yourself, or you can migrate to Apache2, which is waaay better! ;) -- Best regards, Luca Longinotti aka CHTEKK LongiTEKK Networks Admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gentoo Dev: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SysCP Dev: [EMAIL PROTECTED] TILUG Supporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
